Chicago Bulls vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction
The Grizzlies should be favored at home, and the Bulls just haven’t put things together on the offensive side just yet. However, this is a lot of points to throw out there for a Grizzlies team that’s banged up. There are a lot of players on that Grizzlies injury list and that includes Morant who is dealing with right thigh soreness. I’d check the injury report before locking something in, but at the time of this article being published, and the way things stand currently, I’m taking the points with the Bulls.
